Evans Transport is proud to have provided the vehicle for the Xplosion Dance and Cheer group to perform on during the Bideford Carnival. The group, which consists of children of all ages, put on a spectacular performance, and Evans Transport was delighted to be able to help them make it happen.

The truck was driven by Richard Palmer, who has been with Evans Transport for two and a half years. Richard takes a lot of pride in his vehicle, and it showed at the carnival. The truck was beautifully decorated, and Richard was a great ambassador for Evans Transport.

Richard has also won three commendations at recent truck shows for how well he looks after his vehicle. These are:

• 1st – Devon truck show in May – highly commended
• 2nd – Cornwall truck show in July – highly commended
• 3rd – Truckfest South west September – highly commended

Last week we took delivery of a cardboard crimping machine in Bideford. The machine has come in for short term storage to be rubbed down, cleaned and repainted before going to the end user. We got in a local crane company to lift off the 32 tonne machine and with our high ceilings we were able to unload inside saving time and reducing risk of damage by having to wheel in.

We are able to store an array of different products in our warehouse and organise the right equipment to unload or load. Racking and pick and pack service is also available

Evans Transport boosts their “Palletforce” fleet taking delivery of new state of the art Trailer.

New to the fleet here at Evans Transport is the 52 foot long double decker trailer, used specifically for the Palletforce arm of their business.

The new trailer carries 8 more pallets than the normal standard, thus helping to reduce vehicle volumes on a weekly/yearly basis.

This delivery is the first of 3 trailers we are taking delivery of over the coming weeks.

Evans Transport proudly unveiled their new addition to their fleet  a TASCC registered 67cu artic Tipper decorated with the new branded logo.

This will join our growing tipper fleet to help service our customers in the bulk feed, clay and aggregate industries.
